It's My First Blogiversary!

One year ago today I started blogging

.....yes, I'm still a newbie.......

and I haven't shut up since!

It's been a blast and I want to thank all of you who stop by here every day, to leave a comment. I would also thank you for all your blogs--especially La Grande Duchess of Dust Bunnies, Her Royal Highness David Dust, who inspired me to give this bloggery a try--because I find such great things, stories, pictures, jokes, factoids, and trivia in all your blogiverses.

And so, in honor of this :::cough cough:::: momentous occasion, here is a repeat of that first thought-provoking, hysterically funny, pensive, erudite, cogent, concise post.....such as it was:

I'm new to this blog thing, but I do love to talk and I do have an opinion--hell I have thousands of opinions--so I guess that's as good a place to start. Let's talk about.........Me!

I am a happily-partnered gay male, and I have been with the love of my life for the last eight years. We met online in an AOL chatroom--no, not THAT kind of chatroom--and became IM friends, and then email friends, and then phone friends and then friends across the country and then I went from California to Miami to meet him, and that was that. A few months later I'd left California and settled in Miami--talk about culture shock!

We stayed in Miami for about six years until Carlos--the aforementioned partner--accepted a job in Smallville, South Carolina, and we loaded up the truck and moved to....well, not Beverly Hills, but Smallville. A small town. A cute town. A town full of nice people who didn't seem at all peeved that the newest arrivals were a couple of mo's from Miami. That's a start, I think. More to come.....I hope.

It's been a year already! Well congrats Bob! You have said quite alot in one year. Since I don't watch alot of tv, you have kept me very informed, an I thank you for it!!! And why did I think of you right of way when I heard about Oprah leaving her show? I knew you were doing a cartwheel!

Happy Blogiversary, Bob! You're always one of my favorites to read, maybe because we agree on so many things, haha. I think I've been reading you for a while, and I didn't realize that I was on board fairly early. I wish you many more, my evil twin! >:]

Bob, Happy Blogiversary to you! Keep on talking and keep up the good work! I've had so much fun reading about your life, Carlos, Smallville, and everything inbetween. I love reading your commentaries and no one can put a conservative in their place better than you. Congrats!

Happy blogiversary, Bob!! As I have written on my blog more than once, I know I can count on you to keep me informed of all things gay/political/important. Seriously, you do an impressive job of covering the stories that matter. But I must admit my favorite stories of the ones of you and Carlos' life together! Again, happy blogiversary, and many more!!!
